Ahmedabad to Udaipur gauge conversion to allocate sufficient budget for this year. Due to budget constraints, could not be completed this significant rail route for years. The railway line linking the south Rajasthan to the south India will be instrumental it.

To control the crowd in stations, do not allow the relatives on the platform. Seal the entrances similar to airports so that only the passenger is allowed to enter the station and board the train. In case of medical or any other assistance, one can either submit a request letter or pay a platform ticket of 200/-. The move will also allow Indian railways to earn income. #MinistryofRailway #RailwayBudget

Please think of converting all locals of Mumbai to a/c Double Decker trains for crowd management. Use space above the platform shelters to make additional neat and tidy ticket counters. Ticket ka line bohooot lamba ho gaya hai and only 2 men giving tickets in their ancient baba hajam era ticket counters. Nice toilets on platforms. People lose hope in humanity once they enter toilets. Thank you Suresh sir, i like your working energy and also liked this suggestion platform. Good effort!!!

#IRComputrization We do not have all options of booking on IRCTC eg: ONWARD/RETURN JOURNEY DETAILS. Please add them there so that we can save our multiple transaction charges. We may have an option to choose seat/berth by our choice as we have it in bus bookings. IRCTC may charge extra for those who want berths with there choices, this will yield extra revenue and people will get freedom also.

Provide enough dustbins in each compartment. Have sanitary worker, electrician, plumber equivalent to number of TTRs to address the problems in trains. Number of Local trains to Chennai from Vellore should be increased. Number of trains to Kanyakumari should be increased from Chennai connecting major cities on the way.

#IRComputrization PM Shri Narendra Modi is doing great job by promoting Digital India, but still IRCTC charges extra while booking ticket online as compared to offline. I think online ticket prices should be reduced and should be less than offline tickets. This will lead people to book online tickets and will eventually lead to lesser rush on booking windows.

#RailBudget2016 Sir please connect DMO to Panna and Hatta in MP as Panna doesnot have station and DMO will be a junction which will be good for railways.

#IRTrains Though rate card of pantry is available on-line, but many vendors are selling items which are not listed there. To stop overcharging and enhance transparency, please stick at least one rate card in each coach of train.

The fare for rajdhani and premium trains to be reduced. On contrary the tickets for sleeper class can be increased upto 10%. From delhi to howrah a sleeper class ticket costs 600 rs. If you increase 60 rs then people wont have a problem however in rajdhani the 3 ac costs 2100!! if it is reduced people will be happy
